The best feature of Squarespace is the fact that anyone, even those without any web development experience whatsoever. 20 years ago, it was very considered a very desirable skill to be able to create a website. However, these days, the expected quality is much higher, and a high quality service such as Squarespace makes this possible.
While Squarespace offers a lot of options for growth, the only problem with the service is that it can quickly become expensive if you depend on their merchant system and build your entire business off of their service. I would say the service is better for businesses looking to make a simple and clean site, not a fully fledged e-commerce experience
Squarespace is what we used to primarily design our website for Harding Software. It has made the process dramatically easier, with the most notable benefit being that we did not have to hire a web developer to create a website. We avoided the issue of high costs by not hosting any of our transaction features on the website.
I absolutely love using squarespace for our website. With not much background in web design, I have been able to create a beautiful, creative and unique website with Squarespace. It has been incredibly easy to learn and the resources available are fantastic.
Honestly I'm not sure there's much I dislike.
When starting our business, I was nervous about the website creation because I don't have background in that field. WIth Squarespace, I've been able to create a website with minimal knowledge of how to do so.
I have been using Squarespace for about 2 years and it has provided a portfolio platform for my photography.
I wish that it was less expensive to have the website every month.
The contact form! I makes a huge difference. That is where I get most emails from clients.
I love square space! It makes transactions easier and way less complicated than competitors.
I have nothing negative to say about square space other than it being a little slow.
Square space allows you to easily create websites. It’s perfect for those who want to be involved in their business.
We have a few different websites on Squarespace, and I've yet to find a more elegant, intuitive interface. The site templates are beautiful and it's easy to customize your site to your needs.
I do wish there was an admin shortcut when I'm actually on our site (like [website].com/admin).
We introduced a couple new sites for different projects we were working on while our main website was still on another platform. We see more engagement with our Squarespace sites becUse they're so clean and easy to navigate.
I appreciate that Squarespace makes web designing easy while still allowing more customization than other competitors, such as Wix and Weebly. My websites are created simply and look professional. I understand basic web coding (HTML/CSS), which is a definite bonus when using this service. However, I think it would be possible to create a Squarespace website with little to no experience or knowledge and have few problems if any. I've been using Squarespace for over 2 years, and I have never needed to reach out to customer support. Most questions I have can be answered quickly with a simple Google search.
It does still lack some customization once you choose a template. For example, I chose a template that had the header sometimes black and sometimes white. I couldn't choose to have a black version of the logo on white headers and white logos on black headers.
I am able to make updates and switch my entire website layout with great simplicity. In fact, I did a complete rebrand and website makeover in one weekend because of the simplicity of transfers through Squarespace.
I like that I can pretty simply make a website that doesn't totally suck, even though I know next-to-nothing about websites and nothing about coding. Also, the automatic mobile-friendly...I don't even know the word for it. But our site looks great on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
There are bumps in the road here and there, but they're mostly due to my ineptitude and lack of knowledge and experience.
Our church's prior website was a mess and not mobile friendly. Now it's not a mess and looks good on mobile devices. I also like how easy it was to set up a podcast through Squarespace and get it hooked up with Apple podcasts and Google Play as well.
I like how easy it is to start a website and add all of the elements needed. It creates a slick-looking website.
Sometimes it's difficult to know how to edit an element, but luckily Square Space has a great FAQ area.
A clean website with an easy to navigate layout.
Squarespace is by far the best website building platform that exists today.
It's a challenge to come up with something I dislike, but on occasion the template style building can be a little finicky when re-sizing objects.
I'm creating visually stunning, modern and responsive websites for clients. The benefits are endless, but one of the prime benefits is how easy it is for a client to learn how to use the Squarespace platform themselves after I've built the initial website.
Great product that is amazing and easy to use
Sometimes I’m not sure what to do because I am a new user, but the help feature is great!
Website design made easy
